Head Coach Sean McDonnell at UNH has had a pretty good eye for coaching talent. Both Chip Kelly (Oregon) and Dan Mullen (Miss St.) started their careers on his staff up there. Now another guy with links to that program, Ryan Day, is ready to make his mark. And we'll be seeing him on Saturday.

Temple To Name 32-year-old Ryan Day as Offensive Coordinator
Ryan Day, the former star quarterback at the University of New Hampshire (1997-2001) and Manchester Central High will be starting his second coaching stint with the Owls. Currently the receivers coach at BC, Day spent 2006 as a Temple assistant coach. Previously, he was at the University of Florida (2005), serving as an offensive graduate assistant under then-Gators offensive coordinator Dan Mullen and head coach Urban Meyer. Mullen, who led Manchester Trinity to the NH state football title in 1988, was Urban Meyer's offensive coordinator and QB coach at Florida from 2005-08 after starting his career at UNH. He is currently the head coach at Mississippi State. Chip Kelly, at the controls for high-powered University of Oregon. was offensive coordinator and QB coach at UNH from 1999-2006. It was Kelly who recruited Ryan Day to play QB in Durham. The current Ducks head coach also attempted to bring Day aboard to coach at Oregon two years ago. Both Mullen and Kelly, during their time as coordinators, engineered prolific offenses that ranked among the best nationally for their respective levels of college football. And both now say Day can do the same for the Owls. Can he? Steve Addazio thinks so. He will be announcing Ryan Day as Temple's Offensive Coordinator later today.
So on Saturday, as we face Steve Addazio and Ryan Day, sit back with the knowledge they both could have been on our sidelines. We may still win the game, but it will be noteworthy to watch the nature of Day's offense. And once he starts recruiting players to fit his style, well who knows---but not to worry. We have PP and George DeLeone. Thank you Mr.Hathaway.
